Intervening Opportunity-the North, Midwest, and West offered the possibility of greater economic success for African-Americans than other regions of the country]]> 2021-10-06 16:13:01 UTC https://padlet.com/jmullins11/o60b2a28vw2m1dom/wish/1797084933 jmullins11 https://padlet.com/jmullins11/o60b2a28vw2m1dom/wish/1798304333 1. “Every migration flow generates a return or countermigration”- This law applies as more African-Americans are moving back down to the South (from Northern states such as New York) to retire as they recognize a much different southern society than when they left some century ago. ]]> 2021-10-07 01:47:23 UTC https://padlet.com/jmullins11/o60b2a28vw2m1dom/wish/1798304333 jmullins11 https://padlet.com/jmullins11/o60b2a28vw2m1dom/wish/1798318821 2. “The majority of migrants move a short distance”- This law doesn’t apply as the first wave of the Great Migration saw about 1.6 million people move from mostly rural areas in the South to northern industrial cities, and the second wave saw about 4.5 million move further west to the Midwest and the West. Consequently, these were not particularly short distances to travel. ]]> 2021-10-07 01:52:48 UTC https://padlet.com/jmullins11/o60b2a28vw2m1dom/wish/1798318821 jmullins11 https://padlet.com/jmullins11/o60b2a28vw2m1dom/wish/1798322009 3. “Migrants who move longer distances tend to choose big-city destinations”- This law proved to be extremely true as the most popular cities were further up North and Midwest such as New York, Chicago, Cleveland, and Detroit. ]]> 2021-10-07 01:54:08 UTC https://padlet.com/jmullins11/o60b2a28vw2m1dom/wish/1798322009 jmullins11 https://padlet.com/jmullins11/o60b2a28vw2m1dom/wish/1798338575 4. “Urban residents are less migratory than inhabitants of rural areas”- This law applies because African-American inhabitants of rural areas in the South migrated at a much greater rate than those in Urban areas in order to escape ongoing racial oppression in the form of Jim Crow laws, among other things. ]]> 2021-10-07 02:00:41 UTC https://padlet.com/jmullins11/o60b2a28vw2m1dom/wish/1798338575 jmullins11 https://padlet.com/jmullins11/o60b2a28vw2m1dom/wish/1798340674 5. “Families are less likely to make international moves than young adults”- This law does not apply to the Great Migration as the movement of African-Americans during this time period was solely in the US. ]]> 2021-10-07 02:01:33 UTC https://padlet.com/jmullins11/o60b2a28vw2m1dom/wish/1798340674
